AP4, Applilet
A Note to Users of the AP4 for RX: Migrating to the Smart Configurator
We recommend that you consider migrating to the Smart Configurator, as it supports the following three functions: importing middleware in the form of FIT modules, generating driver code, and setting pins from the AP4. Click on the [Design Support] tab >>
Overview
An AP4 and Applilet is a standalone tool for automatically generating control programs (device driver programs) for peripheral modules in accordance with user settings. You can select the type of build tool (compiler). The control programs generated for the peripheral modules by the AP4 or Applilet are intended to suit the selected build tool.
Source code can also be generated for the IAR Embedded Workbench from IAR Systems and for MULTI® (support for RH850 and V850 family) from Green Hills Software and for the Development Studio (DS-5™; support for RZ family) from Arm® Limited.
Note: The Code Generator plug-in is useful in conjunction with the GNU tools or Renesas compiler packages.
Topics
We have revised the AP4 for RL78, Applilet3 for RL78, and AP4 for RZ.
